Anchorage: 321,234
Anchorage is the largest city in the known world. It has existed since before The Great Melt, when much of it was flooded, resulting in the deaths of over a million refugees. It is the major center of trade in Alaska, and is home to the largest port in the known world. The University of Anchorage is located in the city. It was the first institution of higher learning founded (2634 AD) since Armageddon, and serves the ideal of scientific advancement. The institution is independent of the government, and as such continues to accept students from Fairbanks and other Free Zone states, despite sour relations between the states.

Infrastructure
A paved road known as the Palmer Highway runs from Anchorage north along the Knik Arm, crossing the Knik River south of Butte, Palmer, and crossing it again into the city of Palmer itself.

Government
Governors are elected to a single 12-year term. Suzan Kerry was the first exception to that rule. Each subdivision elects an annual representative for the Anchorage City Council, which meets from January through July to update government policies. They may be elected to unlimited terms.
